This is not about a feature comparison where we select key features to
prove that XWiki is the best compared to others. So I agree that
"competitors" might not be the best word here.
This is more like a list of other products that users take into
consideration "instead of" or "along with" XWiki, so other products
that
overlap some of the usage scenarios of XWiki.
The end result (as far as I understand from Gregory's initial message)
is not to be able to compare XWiki with "the competition", but to
extract a list of features that the community values in other products,
and which they would like to see in XWiki.
For example, just today I've seen mentioned that "Wordpress has many
more skins available". Thus, the product in this case is WP, and the
desired feature is a broad collection of skins/themes that the users can
choose for their wiki.

We don't want a feature matrix, we want a "Feature F present in Product
P that's missing in XWiki" list. And to get there, we're currently
gathering the list of products to look at.

No, we don't want that now.
Yes but this
shouldn't be linked to this page. We should have such a form accessible probably from
the download page. The feedback result should probably be sent to the list (devs list?).
Why not a features matrice like we can found at 7zip, WinRAR, WinZip websites
For example:
xwiki sharepoint
Access from Office application V V
Google Calandar integration V X
Infopath integration X V
